"I don't have any wrinkles because I fill them with pie"

Let's talk about food for just a second

I can - with pride - say that

I love nothing more than trying a new recipe or a new menu item or a new restaurant

{for that matter it doesn't even have to anything new lol}

I don't know what it is about food that I just get like a little girl with her first Barbie happy to eat it

Is it that I like the flavors? Or the whole concept of out to eat dining? Or enjoying something yummy with people I love? All of the above?

All I know is that life wouldn't worth living without good food.

{And my body hates me for that comment}

I also know that my wonderful, loving, annoying husband tends to not agree! {gasp!}

This guy tells me that of the following two foods, neither sounds better to his brain

{1.} 8 oz beef filet grilled medium topped with grilled shitake mushroom and a garlic butter sauce

OR

{2.} A peanut butter and honey sandwich

SERIOUSLY? 
How is that humanly possible - I just don't get it!


I mean how can mushy white bread with gooey honey and peanut compare?! 


And this is why cooking at our house is so ridiculous - because this is the answer I always get when I ask how he likes it....no matter what it is


Him - "It's good babe"
Me - "Gee thanks...glad I spent 2 hours cooking it"


Okay off my soapbox about why it's waaay better to live to eat rather than eat to live - now let's look at some recipes that I {the food snob} am currently craving!

Now that I have gained 47 guilt pounds just for looking at these pictures and recipes, I am going to go soothe myself with some chocolate cake celery sticks and ice cubes.
